AprilDawn Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hello Everyone, here is my contribution to this July 1-2-3-Challenge. I used a purchased PSP Script to make the flowers and frames. Cassel's Sequin Script was used for the heart shape and single sequin elements. the 3 photos were taken at Derby in Western Australia. The letter D is from an alpha set I have in my collection and have used it as a monogram for this page but it could also stand for Derby. The green patterned paper was made by me.. As I will be using this page as a card, I am hoping my sister-in-law and her husband will see the D and heart shape as saying "love from Dawn".

Cristina Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 After several attempts, I finally came up with something for the challenge. I created the background page with ribbons done with cass-RibbonFactory Script. I draw some lines (Pen Tool) inside the outline of the letter and created this way space for the photos. I select the outline > Effects >Texture > Sculpture. I clipped the photos with cass-ClipToIt Script. Very helpful and saves time. The 2 sequin elements are freebies: cass-SequinWeather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilDawn Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Cristina, your page looks great! a very creative idea with the C letter, it really stands out nicely with the outline done that way. your photos remind me of a happy day at the beach. a very cheerful page! best wishes, Dawn.

Cristina Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thank you, Dawn. I wanted to insert the photos in the letter... I started a page with letter M, then W, but none of the layouts pleased me, so their destiny was the trash bin. :) I consider these challenges as an exercise, as I know I still have a long way to improve my scrapping skills. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Hogg Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Great page Christina. I love your beach photos they look so inviting. Sheila x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royanne Hewko Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 April I love your colors. Christina I like your use of the letter C. I plan to try it. My part, I used the cloud sequine, then I used cass-Clouds to fill it. I was not able to get my sequin picture tube to work. So I just followed the heart manually. My other elements came from Lliella Playground kit. My letter "L" can be for LOVE or our granddaughter LEXI. Thanks for the inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristina Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Sheila and Royanne, thank you for your comments. :) Royanne, your page is lovely! It begins with the cute little girl and her big smile; we smile just by looking at her. :) I like the borders and the edge effect on the photo. It looks like cass-EdgeMagic script. I have it but haven't used yet... It makes the photo stands out. I didn't know the cass-Clouds script. I like the effect. It is nice to see different takes on the same subject... different colors, techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilDawn Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Royanne, .. thank you for your comment on my project. Your page is very nice and creative and your granddaughter looks a happy little girl. Another lovely memory for you all to treasure. best wishes, Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Lingham Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Three very nice but very different pages. Cristina I like the idea of using the letter C as the frame for the photos. Here is my offering. The idea of using sequins as the elements made me think of some of the costumes from our 2007 school musical, Disco Inferno, so I found three photos of cast members backstage, used the logo background for the background page and a background from a set called On The Movies which I got from the Digital Scrapbooking place. I used the Albumin photo frame from PSP, the sequins were from a set called Remembering December from Club Digital, and the mirror ball I found on-line. It was a standing joke for many of our musicals that one scene always had to have the mirror ball in it (it belonged to one of the teachers) and this sometimes stretched our imaginations - on a couple of occasions the ball only made it's appearance in the dress rehearsal as there was no really appropriate scene for it! The D could be Disco or Devil, depending on how you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilDawn Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Marlene, very nice page, the papers for the lighting very effective .... must have been a fun night. all the best, Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Lingham Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks Dawn. Grant High started doing musicals in 1976, at first every year but now every second year due to time constraints. I became Producer in 1987 and had that role for 17 musicals before retiring. I have lots of wonderful memories of seeing how the students developed and grew in confidence from auditions to final performance. We are also very lucky to have a first-class professional standard theatre, the Sir Robert Helpmann, which allows us to really showcase their talent.

Cristina Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Marlene, very nice page! I like the contrast of the background color with the colorful photos. I like also the texture/color of the letter D. You sure have memories to tell and you know how to make a page full of good stories. I think you are great doing this... this is not my forte. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Lingham Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks Cristina, I like these challenges as they give me the incentive to make pages which I probably wouldn't have done otherwise. It is so interesting seeing what other people do, everyone has different ideas and we can learn a lot from each other, plus having lots of templates and page layouts to choose from means we can concentrate on the content, not the layout, if we are struggling for inspiration.
